July 6, 2022 5:08 PM : Cruz isn't starting Wednesday against the Phillies due to a stomach-related illness, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Cruz was scratched ahead of Tuesday's contest after feeling under the weather and will now sit out a second consecutive game. Juan Soto (calf) is returning to the lineup as the designated hitter and will serve as Cruz's replacement, while Lane Thomas starts in right field in Soto's stead.
